An Instagram-Famous Hairstylist Just Created Rainbow Armpit Hair For Pride

Rainbow roots get a makeover.

Yesterday, St. Louis–based hairstylist Caitlin Ford took a break from dying her clients' hair in Lisa Frank-inspired shades to give someone rainbow armpit hair. "My client wanted something fun she could show off while she was out celebrating St. Louis Pride Fest this weekend," Ford tells Allure. To grant her wish, Ford dyed her client's underarm hair five different vibrant hues in ROYGBIV order. On Instagram, Ford dubbed her latest colorful hair creation Rainbow Pits. TBH the multi-colored tuft of hair is one of the best Pride-themed looks I've stumbled upon on Instagram this month.

With 56.5k followers, Ford is known on Instagram for her gorgeous rainbow hairstyles. However, I've never seen her colorful handiwork on any other part of the body besides the head. As someone who doesn't dye her hair, I'm strongly considering visiting Ford's salon to get my pits done. That way, I can still get in on her brilliant rainbow skills — without damaging my curls with bleach and dye.

This is the first time Ford has dyed someone's underarm hair. "It was actually very fun and easy to do," she says. She documented the process on her Instagram Story, starting with bleaching Lily's armpit hair. Then, she brushed on hot pink, tangerine orange, neon yellow, lime green, and sky blue dyes from Pulp Riot.
